Good vid. I never understood the push to extend NATO right up to the border of Russia. It seems to me a complete provocation, not that Russia is right in this latest incident. The question now is what will the NATO states do about the old, new Russia? I don't think much as we have lost most, if not all, moral standing in the world.

From what I can tell, there are many layers here but the most important factors right now (IMO) are the pending attack on Iran and NATO expansion. South Ossetians are merely pawns. If they decided tomorrow to break away from Georgia and North Ossetians decided to join them by breaking away from Russia to form a new Independent nation (with nuclear energy rights!), every last Ossetian would be dead in short order. ;-)
It appears to be Russia's time to re constitute the evil empire using the same phraseology (peacekeepers, preemption) that GWB used when he wandered into the ME. We seem to be doing a fast rewind to the Cold War, circa 1975.

Why not? With the EU/NAU-NATO expanding and challenging them, they've had enough.
And, who in their right mind really DOES want Putin monopolizing energy for that hemisphere?
On top of that, Zbig's boy Fobama has a whole bunch of strategerizing going to happen over there; decades of pent up new world order plans to complete.
I suppose our pols can bag all that silly talk about America being the world's lone super power.
I feel strongly that 8-8-8 was the chosen day to truly begin the next world war. If NATO comes to the rescue, it will start with planes flying to stop Russian bombing of all things Georgian (including the oil pipelines that Russia had missed yesterday).
